Mobile phones are something that a lot of people need in life from teenage years through to adulthood.

The iPhone X in all its glory has been said to have the most durable glass ever used in a smartphone according to Apple.

With a test score of 90 out of 100 points as a measurement of risk in their testing system, it makes it a high-risk model and with the high price to repair the iPhone X due to its tech, you won't want to be dropping this phone in a hurry. To compare to the SquareTrade tests, the Samsung Note8 had previously been named the "most fragile phone" with a score of 80 out of 100 after being subjected to the same tests.
